Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is flying to cinemas next year, and we just got a new look at star Milly Alcock during filming. Unfortunately, it's not an official still from the film or a superhero suit reveal, but it's getting us excited for what's in store for the upcoming DCU movie.

Last January, DC boss James Gunn shared a first look of Supergirl, which showed Alcock from behind and seated in a director's chair with the Supergirl logo on it. Now, to celebrate Supergirl's anniversary, Gunn has paid tribute to the legendary comic-book character while teasing the new movie.

"Today we celebrate #Supergirl and all her various incarnations. Can’t wait for you to see the latest version, portrayed by the indomitable @millyalcock, in June 2026," he wrote on X, sharing a picture of Alcock holding the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic.
